Malaysia is still better off than Nigeria, Mauritania, and the rest of the CLUB of DOOM gang. Does it matter to the minorities living in this country anymore? The Chinese and Indians are too small a size to matter politically. As time goes by, the number of the minorities is going to shrink further. So it really does not matter anymore. Hand back the keys to the lords of the land and let them carry on with their 'Ketuanan Melayu' style of politics and assure tham that they will never vanish from this earth. I am getting sick of all the daily bull from the government. Finally I would like to say that economics is not only determine by natural resources, exports, and the human resources available. It is also influenced by CULTURE. The cultural makeup of a country exert an enormous influence on the economic development within a country. Thus to understand the Malaysian political economy, it is necessary to look at the culture of the dominant ethnic group in the country, beyond its oil, palm plantation, and rubber. After looking at all these factors, I say forget it. Leave Malaysia while it is still possible. Dear Anil,

Malaysian are a whole lot more resilient than that. We've had Hindraf members stand in front of water cannons, we've had an entire country fearlessly vote in the polls. We're a whole lot stronger than most people give us credit for. You think the average Malaysian would turn to crime? Can't we come up with better ways of earning money ? I agree that the government isn't doing enough and that the poor are suffering, but I have to disagree with such a gloomy assessment. I believe in Malaysia, and I believe in Malaysians. We'll pull through just like we always do whether it's BECAUSE of our government or IN SPITE of our government doesn't matter. Such gloom and doom, c’mon man. Malaysian are a whole lot more resilient than that.

The example given by the Second Finance minister went something like this: Say the period of repayment is ten years at RM700 a month, they could extend the repayment period to twenty years and reduce the monthly instalment to RM500. I also heard that Pos Malaysia will be paid a commission for the petrol rebate disbursements and guess whose hands will be in the till? As Raj Raman might put it, ask Kit Siang. This is way better than job creation. It's called income creation. The government is in the process of cajoling our banks to extend the period of repayment for housing loans.

I foresee a global sell-off some day in the future. So sell it before the USD collapses. What's the use of keeping our national reserves in a falling currency that is paying negative interest rates (adjusted for inflation)? What's the purpose of having that RM400 billion reserve and not using it? The US is running very bad deficits. With huge obligations, it's impossible to pay back their debts. In fact, by inflating their currency the whole world is footing the bill through 'inflation tax'. US M3 money supply growth quoted by independent trackers have grown ~18% since last year. Malaysian is also around 15% I think. Talk about inflation! One of the reasons why we're getting 'poor' is that US have been buying our goods without really 'paying' for it. They are giving US IOUs instead of goods, ballooning our reserves...which doesn't help us at all. PS: This doesn't mean we shouldn't blame our government. A better managed country would've been able to weather this much better. Sell our US treasuries. I foresee a global sell-off some day in the future. So sell it before the USD collapses.

Adopt a hardcore poor family. In one of the rare instances when the Star lives up to its people's paper slogan, I came across some heart breaking accounts of families having to survive on unfathomably minute incomes. Without all the hype and fanfare, perhaps Anil would be kind enough to start something, like say placing donation boxes in the shops of owners he knows, the difference being we have his word it is directly going to the hardcore poor. Boleh kah? Good suggestion, Valerie. Adopt a hardcore poor family.

It is so convenient and easy to blame the current PM, but is it all his fault that he's being left with legacies that require millions in maintenance each year? That he's staying away from this filthy mudslinging I think is very good, what is he to do if not issue warning? lock everyone up? that's what a certain predecessor would have done. And for those who wants a drastic change of government, how would u know the PR can perform and match up? their performance for the past few months have been shaky, or course give them a chance but to take over federal government now? The PM is putting in place certain measures, him streamlining the present cabinet, trying to reduce the civil service, proposing judicial reform through Zaid..these are applaudable moves by the government. The Malaysians made a stance on March 8th and I believe our PM is taking heed of it. He's not worried about legacy building, he doesn't have anything to lose, so let's scrape the personal attack and be civil, shall we? Criticise constructively, help whip the government into place and above all, be a responsible citizen.
